Went for lunch. Place was completely empty. Ordered chicken and rice. Chicken was extremely dry and did not taste fresh. The rice was over cooked and soggy. Would not recommend this place

Food is delicious, service is excellent, staff is always friendly and attentive. The restaurant is always clean and has a nice atmosphere. I have tried multiple items on the menu and everything is always so flavorful and just right. Best BBQ chicken and ribs in town! Highly recommend you try their food!

As a portuguese person that has worked in restaurants I must say it's yet the best portuguese dish in the area. I saw the reviews and I was undecided but it sure was a great pick. I love how much meat comes on the dish. Great job. I'll be ordering more often.

I used to order a pick up almost every weekend then like other reviews I got old Rice, Ribs and Chicken that was with the preview owner, decided to give it another chance and food was delicious with the new owner and I made sure the girl in the front knew that the food was great again and today Jun 23 2024 they are back with the old and dry Ribs and the smelly rice VERY DISAPPOINTED. I know how the ribs look when they are fresh and when they are old and dry. NOT GOING BACK IT'S HORRIBLE!!!

This place used to be good, but now the quality has decreased a lot. We ordered most of the weekends the combos but most of the time the foods appears to be old and super grassy, definitely it’s NOT a place to recommend.. and the owner seems like he doesn’t care about his customers or the quality of the food doesn’t know how to appreciate the reviews and make some changes, instead every time it’s worse. ?

This place is not the same Fogo from last year. This is no longer a Portuguese BBQ. Something changed here and the new managment is cutting every corner possible. A couple of months ago we order the picadinho and it had no flavor. We decided to give them another chance today, and the chicken was super dry with no flavor, the rice tasted like it was leftover rice from the day before and had been sitting around with a weird smell. Do not support these businesses that do not care about quality and freshness. Hate to do this to a local business but me and my family & friends will never order from here again.

We placed a order for Steak and Shrimp with garlic sauce thru Uber Eats.
Food came in good time but upon arrival and after the first bite. Spoiled steak.

I understand that mishaps happen when providing a service and that’s fine and well as long as you make it right. I reached out to Fogo express to see if they were willing to make it right. Their answer?
“NO! We do not sell spoiled steak.”
Well, judging by recent reviews and our fresh experience(the only thing fresh about this unpleasant interaction)I believe you do. And not only steaks.

They said to call and work it out with Uber Eats. 0% ownership. 0% professionalism. 100% spoiled attitude…which I guess goes well with their spoiled steaks.

The truth is, this is a super restaurant, I don't understand why people do the slightest bad thing and then comment on the bad and if they like the food super tasty there is no good comment there we reserve the good but to comment on the bad there If it immediately starts to make the restaurant look bad, let's not be like that with the evil of wanting to damage a business, let's have a little understanding Asia, the rest of us, let's not damage the businesses, please

What happened to Fogo???
This used to be my favorite little "Portuguese inspired" place! Most of the time I ordered the grilled Salmon with veggies! It was so fresh and delicious! The last few times it was a little over cooked, but still fresh salmon and steamed vegetables, but nothing to keep me away for long.
This last time it was just bad!!!
You could see they didn't cook fresh salmon and veggies, but frozen. It looked like it came from the frozen aisle of a grocery store. The vegetables were mushy and the salmon was tough to the bite and had an off taste. I took two bites and threw it off. What happened to you Fogo Express? Sigh...
I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because I used to love this place and I hope not everything is as inedible as my last order.

This place used to be excellent. It’s horrible now. I’m 99% sure the vegetables are frozen and likely the salmon as well. Salmon tastes frozen and overcooked, if not spoiled. We used to order all the time, but I’m done with this place now. This isn’t the first time.

The amount of food you get for what you pay is extremely overpriced. Chicken is small, and the salmon is much smaller than before and was 20 bucks. We paid 56 for one tray and a salmon dinner. The food is good, but I don't think its fair to overcharge for a very small amount.

Not to mention , the trays are supposed to feed 2 to 4 people, usually it would (it did not) and we would even at times have leftovers.

I hate giving bad reviews but I really am disappointed about the price.

I like Fogo Express and think that if you have never been here you should check it out.
